The past few months of driving around the Chicagoland area has revealed the new Cubs ad campaign "Year 1". Yes, as in the beginning. Like, its only been 1 year since we won the World Series as opposed to the reality of 101 and counting. Wait, its 102 now... I think.
Well, after thinking some ad company should be fired, further contemplation had me nominating them for the Nobel Peace Prize. Their complete disregard for the history may actually be the solution to all the world's psychiatric issues.
Jews and Palastinians (and all the Middle East) just wake up and it's day one of "Year 1". Chechnya might like being a part of Russia, Scotland would call itself Northern England, and Guitmo detainees would be released to grow corn in Billings, MT. No one remembers anything that happend in the last 101 years (or 102, my New Year's Resolution was to stop keeping track). It would be like forgetful forgiveness.
Think about all the seemingly harmless things you do at home like leaving the seat up or belching at the table, even procrastinating doing the dishes and fixing the toaster. Your wife no longer remembers! Hallelujah!
Sigh... Then reality sets in. I'm bound to leave the toilet seat up again in the morning, just like the Cubs are bound to get me all excited before moving my hairline back another 2 inches. Silly slogans can't erase history, it can't erase who you are. Besides, deep down every Cubs fan admits silently that we embrace who we really are...Patient.
